You have taken my statement out of context however - the no win situation was with regard to their chances of winning. Most certainly anyone would be happy to represent their country and attend. Including Mannicia and about a dozen kids from the Quebec and Maritimes (in front of friends and family).

60 kids playing in all the Eastern Canada Jr A leagues that the team was selected from huh?

Sure would suck to get picked from all those kids to represent, Norris and Hedges must be devastated at their misfortune
